The public perception of underwater archaeology is usually related to shipwrecks, and yet there are thousands of submerged settlement sites from all periods. Most of these lie in shallow waters and are therefore readily available to the underwater archaeologist. This book explains the methods of working under water and the exciting discoveries from a number of sites in Scotland. The focus is the excavation of the Early Iron Age crannog in the Highlands of Scotland.

The focus of this research is on the later prehistoric period, from the earliest constructional origins of western Scotland crannogs in the late Bronze Age through to their apparent emergence as status dwellings in the Early Historic period after the midfirst millennium AD. The aim is to investigate the ways in which crannogs functioned as settlements, both on a practical, economic as well as a symbolic and socio-cultural level. Throughout, the primary concern is with contextualisation, considering crannogs within their correct chronological and cultural context through the critical analysis of dating evidence as well as the identification of the relevant ritual and symbolic themes- i.e. the Iron Age veneration of water. It is argued in this book that the stereotypical view of a crannog that has largely been derived from the results of work carried out on Irish crannogs has been misleading in the case of the Scottish sites, tending towards a view of crannogs as high-status strongholds, often as royal seats. Though crannogs were certainly a significant feature of the Early Historic period in Scotland, there is as yet no evidence of direct connections to royalty in this period and, based on the currently available evidence, the characterisation of crannogsas high status sites is misguided in the context of their late Bronze and Iron Age origins.

Crannogs located in maritime environments have not been well-studied, principally because of their proximity to the shoreline and their relative scarcity. This study combines literary research with fieldwork to investigate the main features, functions and date of these sites including excavation and palaeoenvironmental sampling.

The site of a long-running archaeological controversy, Dumbuck Crannog lies on the shores of the Firth of Clyde in the Dumbarton area of Scotland. One of 4 crannogs in the inner Firth of Clyde, Dumbuck is exposed only at low tide, and the visible remains constitute a circular wooden platform within a ring of upright posts. This well illustrated book from the RCAHMS looks back at the excavations themselves (1898-99), and the ensuing controversy - which simmered for over 30 years - by digging into the Dumbuck archive. William Donnelly, an archaeological enthusiast and well-known artist, first discovered the site in July 1898. He became central to the excavations and the archive contains many drawings and watercolours by him; of excavations, visitors, reconstructions, and most importantly the small finds. The controversy began in earnest when the archaeologist John Munro questioned the authenticity of these small finds - proposing that they were in fact of 19th century origin. A very public debate began, recorded in this book by way of acerbic quotes from letters, newspapers, and articles. The debate raged for over 30 years, and its legacy is enduring. While this book does not solve the mystery of the forgeries, it examines the excavations and the subsequent controversy, and includes loads of Donnelly's original drawings and paintings, along with photographs of the original excavations and extracts from the letters and articles which formed the basis of one of the most vitriolic controversies in Scottish archaeology.
